Description
This piece has been featured in the FAA Groups: "Artistic Flower Photo", and "Macro Marvels".
Crocus chrysanthus "Prins Claus" is so ravishing with its rather large, fragrant white goblet-shaped flowers delicately striped with blue-purple or violet blotches on the outer face of petals, particularly of the outer 3 petals, and its rich golden heart. Its orange anthers add a fiery spark too!
There’s no denying the regal standing of this very colourful and eye-catching crocus. Crocus chrysanthus 'Prins Claus' wears the royal colours of purple and white on the outside of a cup which has a white lining tinged with the same shade of purple. In the bottom of the cup a little dark orange pools around bright gold stamens in the centre, but then nothing less than gold would be worthy of this royal prince. The flamboyance of the purple and white outside petals means that even when the buds don’t open in dull weather, this prince will still make his authority felt in the early spring garden.
Snow crocus 'Prins Claus' include flowering plants that bloom in the autumn, winter, or spring. The name comes from the Greek word "krokos," meaning saffron, because of the spice obtained from the flower of one of these species. Many snow crocus 'Prins Claus' are cultivated for ornamental purposes as well as for commercial saffron production.
